These socks are simple top down socks that use short rows to create both the heels and toe. This method requires a longer stretch of grafting at the toe, but is perfect for highlighting different colours of yarn, like the Purl Soho Pocket Posy shown in the pattern photo.

Great for beginner sock knitters. Included is a photo tutorial for creating the short row heel and toe.

There are two size options:

  1. a small, suitable for most women’s feet (mine are a shoe size 9/40 and I made myself smalls)
  2. a large, mostly suited towards men or people with wider feet

I always love to see what you’ve made with my designs so don’t forget to tag me on Instagram (@knitthreetogether #drewsocks) or make a project on Ravelry!
